Chapter 299 Destination, Okinawa! (3)

Compared with the strict rules and regulations at the banquet, the Jiugong family's family dinner is relatively ordinary.

Several people have already arrived at a large table.

Seeing Minamoto Kawase and Jiugong Ye coming in together, Jiugong Aili snorted and continued to play with her mobile phone.

"Ai Li, where are the etiquette that your mother always taught you?" Jiugong Junzi said in a reproachful tone, "Don't use your mobile phone while eating!"

Jiugong Aili turned in a different direction, not wanting to listen to her mother's nagging, "Isn't grandma not here yet?"

"Chunzi, you don't have to worry about so many rules when you eat at home." Jiugong Shenzi said with a smile.

The last time the family had a chance to sit down and have a meal together was rare, at least Genkawase had only experienced it twice.

"This child is too spoiled, always has no rules, and is very troublesome..." Jiugong Junzi sighed.

"I heard that Ai Li did a good job this time and was praised by her mother." Jiugong Shenzi seemed to be asking about his child's grades.

Gengawaze glanced at Jiugong Aili from the corner of his eye.

To be honest, he was surprised that Jiugong Aili could also take over the family's work.

He always thought that Jiugong Aili usually did nothing but eat, drink and have fun, so she would have no contact with her work at home.

Now it seems that, as Jiugong Shenzi said, there has always been competition in the Jiugong family.

Even Jiugong Aili, who seems quite childish, has already begun to take over the work at home.

"Aili has just tried it, how can she compare with Xiaoye?" Jiugong Junzi said, "My mother has always been very optimistic about Xiaoye."

Minamoto Kawase gave Jiugong Ye a look that said, "You're praised", and the latter rolled his eyes in return.

Although the food hasn't been served yet, there are already many desserts on the table.

"Minister Jiugong, can those be eaten?" Gengawaze asked softly.

Jiugongye said in a helpless tone, "Yuanchuan-san, isn't it just for food?"

Minamoto Kawase thought there were some rules, but no one was eating the desserts on display.

"You rich people are so weird..."

Gengawaze tasted the Dorayaki, which was stuffed with red bean paste and tasted quite good.

"This is delicious." Gengawaze picked up another piece of Dorayaki, "Minister Jiugong, you should try it too."

"Don't eat."

“Give it a try, it’s super delicious.”

At the dinner table, Minamoto Kawase's urging to eat and Jiugongye's reluctance were a bit abrupt.

Jiugong Shenzi did not stop it, as if he wanted someone to hear it deliberately.

Jiugong Aili looked away and was not even in a good mood to play with her mobile phone.

Isn’t it just that I have a boyfriend? What’s there to show off...

"I'm really not ashamed..."

After Minamoto Kawase's repeated insistence, Jiugongha reluctantly accepted it.

"Is it tasty?"

"generally."

"How can it be……"

Genkawase didn't believe it, even a picky tongue like his found it delicious.

Jiugong Ye ignored it and ate Dorayaki silently.

"Shanshu hasn't come yet?" Jiugong Shenzi found that his brother's seat had been vacant. "Mother is coming soon, but she hasn't arrived yet..."

"It should be still on the way, right?" Jiugong Junzi also felt that something was wrong.

Just as he was talking, the door at the entrance was opened, and Minamoto Kawase glanced away.

Sakura supported the head of the Jiugong family, and Jiugong Himeko walked in.

After not seeing each other for a while, Minamoto Kawase could feel that the respectable old man's health was getting worse.

Jiugong Jizi looked around and found that Jiugong Shanshu was not there.

"Mom, the fir tree should be on the way. It will be here soon." Jiugong Shenzi was worried that his mother would be hurt because of this incident.

Jiugong Himeko didn't seem to care, and sat down in a sitting position with Sakura's help.

"Don't wait for him, let's eat."

Before eating, Jiugong Jizi asked about the current situation of several daughters and granddaughters as usual.

"Son of God, did you do that thing in Nakamura?"

Jiugong Himeko was in Kyoto, but after all, the accident happened to the largest real estate developer in Tokyo, and the news spread quickly.

"Yes." Jiugong Shenzi just picked up a piece of fish and put it into the bowl.

His tone was relaxed, as if he was just doing something insignificant.

Although Jiugong Junzi had already guessed that this incident was most likely related to her sister, after all, the methods of doing things were too similar.

They all make the target commit suicide.

But regarding the reason, she was still very curious, "Sister, why did you suddenly attack the Nakamura family?"

"The matter is quite complicated. It's not suitable to talk about it at the dinner table. If Junzi and mother want to know, I can talk about it after dinner."

As Jiugong Shenzi said, he glanced at Jiugongha and Gengawa Laze beside him, who were tasting Dorayaki.

This ends this topic.

No one was worried about the impact of this incident, they were just curious about the reason why Jiugong Shenzi took action.

At this time, the entrance door opened again, and it was Shanshan's late arrival Jiugong Shanshu who came in.

"Sorry, I'm late."

Jiugong Sugi's tone was very perfunctory, and he walked to his seat and sat down without looking at Jiugong Himeko's face.

The atmosphere at the dinner table became a lot colder.

Seeing that Jiugong Ye was still nibbling, Minamoto Kawase didn't care.

However, there was a piece of bluefin tuna sashimi with a very nice texture in the Jiugonghaha bowl, and he wanted to eat it.

I just looked at it for a long time and didn't find where the sashimi was.

It must have been eaten...

Minamoto Kawase thought to himself, and prepared to order the lobster meat closest to him, and add curry, it should taste good.

Jiugongye glanced at it, and then put the sashimi in the bowl into Gengawa Lase's bowl.

'Minister Jiugong, I love you...'

'Stop talking nonsense and eat quickly'

This piece of sashimi should be the belly of bluefin tuna, which is the belly. The meat is soft and tender, and the taste is very dense.

This piece must be quite expensive.

"The true saint didn't come?" Jiugong Jizi asked.

"I don't know where he went. He can't be found anywhere." Jiugong Shanshu's face was a little red, probably because he had been drinking.

As long as a normal person can feel it, he doesn't want to come back to eat at all.

Jiugong Jizi was not used to it either, "You are still drinking like this after you get married. If you don't want to come back, don't come back."

She knew that because she had given most of the work to Jiugong Shenzi during this period, and she was obviously nurturing her as his heir...

In this regard, Jiugong Zhensheng has always been dissatisfied.

"Shanshu, sit down and eat." Jiugong Shenzi had a rare serious face.

Jiugong Junzi also tried to dissuade her: "No matter what it is, let's talk about it after dinner, right?"

Even Jiugong Aili, who had always been careless, didn't even dare to pick up the food when she saw her elders quarreling.

"No, let's make it clear now if you have anything to say!" Jiugong Shanshu continued to drink and vented his dissatisfaction, "Mother, are you too partial to the eldest sister? Give her everything, and now even the entire Jiugong family has to hand it over In her hands...even if she shares the work for you at the earliest...Second sister, don’t interrupt me, let me finish!"

Because of his excitement, Jiugong Shanshu's face turned even redder, "This is not the reason why you favor the eldest sister. Am I not your child? Isn't the True Saint your grandson? Now even an outsider can come to the house to eat at will. Take over the family business!"

foreigner……

Of course, Minamoto Kawase knew who this sentence was referring to.

Hearing these words, Jiugongye stopped his chopsticks, propped up his chin, and stared at the unfamiliar third uncle with calm eyes.

"Shanshu, apologize to mother!" Jiugong Shenzi finally calmed down his voice.

The atmosphere seemed to be completely frozen.

However, even in such a tense situation, Sakura still looked calm, which Gengawaze admired her for.

Jiugong Jizi did not show any emotional fluctuations, but asked calmly: "Who told you that outsiders can have access to the family's industry?"

Ever since the incident involving Jiugong Shenzi's husband happened, the Jiugong family has had a rule.

If you are not a member of the family, you cannot have any contact with the family's work.

This is also the reason why Minamoto Kawase has never met Jiugong Aili's father or Jiugong Zhensheng's mother.

When it came to this, Jiugong Shanshu also realized that he had made a drunken gaffe, wiped his face and stood up.

"I'm stuffed."

After Jiugong Shanshu left, the dining table was still in an uncomfortable state for a while.

Until Jiugong Jizi said: "Continue eating."

Even if Minamoto Kawase doesn't know much about the big family, he can still tell that Jiugong Sugi is obviously dissatisfied with the sharing of the industry...

Dinner is over.

On the way back to the room, Jiugong Shenzi looked at Gengawa Ze and said, "Genkawa-kun, don't take those words to heart just now. We have always been a family."

Gengawaze shook his head, "It doesn't matter, I didn't care."

Just like Jiugong Shenzi said, in this family, only the three of them are considered a family in the true sense.

So he didn't care at all.

"That's good." Jiugong Shenzi paused, "You also saw today that the Jiugong family has always been in a state of internal strife, so..."

"I will work harder and slap them in the face with my strength." Minamoto Kawase said.

Jiugong Shenzi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Yes, someone with such courage is my good son!"

The goddess of the Nine Palaces has always wanted a son, and the appearance of Gengawaze just filled this gap.

"Don't say good things too early." Jiugong Ye glanced at him, "Before that, you'd better figure out the work in the mailbox."

"I feel like what I did was quite good..." Gengawa Laze had a clear conscience.

Because Jiugongha often lets Gengawaze read emails, gradually, Gengawaze can handle problems alone.

Of course, the premise is that Jiugong Ye is also around, and she will point out some of the subtle problems.

It's already nine o'clock.

After putting the two young people on the bus back to Shinjuku, Jiugong Shenzi went to his mother's room alone.

After knocking on the door, a voice quickly came from inside asking to come in.

Only then did Jiugong Shenzi walk into the entrance hall and take off his clogs.

"Mother."

Jiugong Shenzi walked to the opposite side of her mother and was sitting down. When she saw that the porcelain pot on the side was already boiling, she picked it up and started making tea.

Perhaps because she was getting older, Jiugong Himeko spoke slowly, "Tell me about Nakamura."

While making tea, Jiugong Shenzi told the story about Nakamura Rokuro's attempt to bribe Genkawase.

History is always strikingly similar.

The same situation also happened to Jiugong Ye's father and Jiugong Shenzi's husband.

However, the two people's results were completely opposite.

"Did Yuanchuan admit it on his own initiative?" Jiugong Jizi asked.

Jiugong Shenzi said amusedly: "Yes, I complained to Ye immediately after getting off the car."

Jiugong Shenzi was quite satisfied with Minamoto Kawase's approach.

The tea is brewed, orange in color, and steaming when poured into the cup.

"Mom, be careful of the burn."

Jiugong Jizi did not take the tea, but after a moment of silence, she asked: "Has Ye asked Yuanchuan to read the work emails at home?"

Jiugong Shenzi was stunned for a moment, but because he had been prepared, he was not too surprised.

Outsiders cannot participate in the family's work...

"Yes." Jiugong Shenzi answered truthfully.

Not only that, she even encouraged Seta Gengawa and Jiugong Ye to watch and learn.

Sometimes I would tell him some business tips, as if I wanted to teach him everything I have.

She herself didn't know why she trusted Minamoto Kawase so much. She had clearly learned from past mistakes.

I have been bribed and have been exposed to family work...

No matter what, he is very similar to that person.

Even if Gengawa Ze is excellent, Jiugong Himeko can't help but be suspicious of him.

"Son of God, you have been obedient since childhood. You should know my original intention of setting this rule." Jiugong Jizi said solemnly.

Her daughter, who had always been obedient, suddenly rebelled, which made her even more angry than when her younger son contradicted her just now.

Jiugong Shenzi put down her tea cup. She was usually vigorous and resolute in dealing with people, but now she was like a child being scolded.

"I am clear……"

Jiugong Jizi took a breath and calmed down, "As for Yuanchuan and Ye's marriage, I need to observe it for a while..."

observe……

Does this mean that you have to regret your engagement?
Jiugong Shenzi, who is always sure of victory, is a little panicked at this moment.

It was obviously a done deal, but now it suddenly says no...

She knew that the person Ye respected most was her grandma, and she also hoped to get her support.

Besides, it’s rare for a daughter to be so interested in a boy after so many years...

Thinking of this, Jiugong Shenzi took a long breath and seemed to have made up his mind.

She bent over in a sitting position, taking a seat on the earth, with her forehead only a few centimeters away from the tatami.

"Mother, as a daughter, I have been obedient all my life, but if it will affect Ye this time... I'm sorry, I won't agree."

Jiugong Shenzi's tone was decisive, "I also have a daughter and am a mother, so I will never let my daughter be wronged!"

This always obedient child, for the sake of his daughter, confronted his mother with a strong attitude for the first time.

I won't let my daughter be wronged...

For some reason, Jiugong Jizi felt that this was quite ironic.

After a long silence, Jiugong Jizi slowly said, "Get up first."

Jiugong Shenzi raised his head, with a firmness in his eyes that even Jiugong Jizi, a mother, had never seen before.

"Son of God, are you actually still angry about what happened back then?"

Using the retro palace lantern, Jiugong Jizi looked at her daughter, who was so strange that she seemed not to recognize her...
